CC. What have you enjoyed most about your time at Benfica so far?

ZB. There have been so many enjoyable moments throughout this trip. The experience of being placed in a professional environment with others around the world has been incredible. The footballing level has also been amazing and I feel I have made some big improvements in my game both on and off the football pitch. Having the opportunity to train with world class coaches at excellent facilities has also been an amazing experience.
